Abstract: Transportable storage devices are communicatively coupled behind one or more dedicated “edge” data servers to take advantage of the benefits of the data servers and transportable storage devices while limiting their disadvantages. Each edge data server ingests data from one or more client devices and copies the data to one or more of the transportable storage devices for eventual transport to a cloud data center for upload to a cloud storage system. Multiple versions of a segment of data (e.g., of a file or a blob) are maintained at various points in the disclosed system and the disclosed technology ensures that the most recent version is the version ultimately stored on the cloud storage system.

Each edge data server ingests data from one or more client devices and copies the data to one or more of the transportable storage devices for eventual transport to a cloud data center for upload to a cloud storage system. Object identifiers of objects stored on the transportable storage devices are maintained in a namespace of the data servers after decoupling of the transportable storage devices from the data servers so that the object identifiers remain visible to client devices.

Abstract: Examples are disclosed that relate to updating system software of a computing device located at a network edge between a local network and a cloud service. One disclosed example provides a method comprising booting into a system disk image at a boot location, receiving and storing an updated system disk image from a server computing device. The method further comprises changing the boot location from a location of the system disk image to a location of the updated system disk image and booting into the updated system disk image.

Abstract: An exemplary method includes parsing metadata associated with at least a portion of source code to construct a truncated parse tree; selecting a segment of the truncated parse tree; parsing metadata associated with the selected segment to construct one or more additional parse tree branches; and analyzing the truncated parse tree and the one or more additional parse tree branches. Such an exemplary method optionally includes generating code based, at least in part, on the analyzing and/or optionally includes purging or overwriting memory associated with the one or more additional parse tree branches. Other exemplary methods, devices and/or systems are also disclosed.

Abstract: An exemplary upgrade module includes an upgrade wizard component, an upgrade analyzer component, and a source analyzer component wherein the upgrade wizard component operates in conjunction with an IDE to facilitate migration of source code or a project to the IDE or a runtime engine and/or OS associated with the IDE. An exemplary method includes selecting a source code or project written in a programming language associated with a native compiler that targets a native runtime engine, analyzing the code or project and then upgrading the code or project based on the analyzing such that the resulting upgraded code or project can compile on a foreign compiler and target a foreign runtime engine. According to such an exemplary method, the upgrade or migration optionally occurs without modifying the selected source code. Other exemplary methods, devices and/or systems are also disclosed.
